Brush is eligible to receive funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for any necessary repairs to the parks area adjacent to the South Platte River near Brush.
At the Brush City Council meeting on October 14, City Administrator Monte Torres said he recently participated in a FEMA meeting where he learned the city could receive assistance to help recover from damage from recent flooding.
Torres said although the City of Brush itself didn't have issues with flooding, the parking area and trailhead near the Platte River were washed away.
He, along with with Mayor Dan Scalise and Councilor Mark Smith recently walked through the area to inspect it, and that they "are still trying to get further out in river bottom" to assess the area. Torres said if repair costs are under $67,500 the city can use a purchase order to obtain funding from the FEMA program.
If costs are higher, the city would need to apply for a grant.
"I don't see it being a really high cost so I think we will be under $67,500, which will be an easier to process for the city," he said.
The city administrator also met recently with a representative from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs regarding the energy impact grant the city applied for a few months ago, which would partially fund the final phase of the storm water project.
The department anticipates it will have grant hearings in December. "It's a competitive grant," Torres explained, adding that, if selected, Brush would receive $785,000 likely sometime in February.
Director of Finance Joanne Gosselink presented a first draft of the proposed 2014 city budget, noting "This budget is not a completed budget as it doesn't reflect personnel or capital projects."
She said the council will receive a complete budget at its budget retreat on November 18.
In other budget agenda items, council approved the disbursements and payroll of Sept. 23 –Oct. 24 in the amount of $417,667.32.
Council heard a second reading and approved for publication ordinance 826-13 East Morgan County Hospital that will rezone approximately 10 acres from Residential Medium Density to Commercial.
As part of staff reports, Police Chief Mark Thomas told council members that about 50 percent of home owners given warnings regarding trees (needing trimming or removal) "have been taken care of." Torres added that said some of the trees needing work belong to the City of Brush. He said the city has been working on cleaning up the trees and will continue to do so "weather dependent."
Assistant Administrator Karen Schminke explained the city is still in need of citizens to serve as tree board members. There are two vacancies on the five-member board, she said, adding that the board meets once a month seasonally. Those interested in serving on the board should contact Schminke at 842-5001.
City Clerk Andrea Strand provided an update on bringing the Colorado Weigh and Win in Your Community program to Brush, which would also give it a presence in northeast Colorado.
Strand met with Linda Thorpe from the East Morgan County Hospital (EMCH) who said the hospital is interested in hosting the program's kiosk at its facility, but indicated it wants to check with other Banner Health facilities that have such kiosks to obtain feedback on the program. She said the hospital expressed an interest in also collaborating on city wide fitness and weight loss challenges between city wards.
Council directed Strand to further explore these programs.
In other staff reports, Torres said he recently received a call from a citizen concerned about the size of sidewalk and curb heads on Ray Street, making it difficult to navigate an electric wheelchair. Torres said these "older style" sidewalks are an issue in the center part of town. "Any time the city has larger projects we will try to take care of these sidewalks at the same time," he commented, adding that such repairs are "are driven by the funding we have available."
Council also approved a motion to affirm the appointments of Larry Coughlin, Sandra Sumner and Carolyn Thornsby to the East Morgan County Library Board of Trustees for 2014-2017. These individual's names also will be submitted to the Brush School Board for their approval before they become final.
The next meeting of the Brush City Council is Monday, October 28 at 6 pm.

by Matt Bromiley - January 4, 2019
- Sponsored By: Microsoft
Phishing is an ever-evolving and pervasive method of attack against small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Don't let your business be an easy target! After walking you through the phishing techniques that attackers commonly use, Matt Bromiley shares proven strategies and specific, actionable steps you can take today to reduce your risk.

Countering Impersonation, Spearphishing and Other Email-Borne Threats: A Review of Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection Analyst Paper (requires membership in SANS.org community)
by Jerry Shenk - January 24, 2017
- Associated Webcasts: Mimecast Targeted Threat Protection
- Sponsored By: Mimecast Services Limited
The FBI estimates that between October 2013 and August 2015, more than 7,000 U.S.-based organizations lost a total of $748 million to business email scams. Such scams rely on the same tricks as confidence artists in the real world: the appearance of legitimacy and the tendency of victims to go along with requests that appear to be on the up-and-up, without checking to be sure. In this whitepaper, SANS senior analyst Jerry Shenk evaluates Targeted Threat Protect, an email-security service from Mimecast that is focused on stopping sophisticated phishing attacks. Among its most difficult targets: �whaling� attacks that spoof high-level executives asking for sensitive data, access or the transfer of money to accounts owned by scammers.
Methods for Understanding and Reducing Social Engineering Attacks SANS.edu Graduate Student Research
by Michael Alexander - May 3, 2016
Social engineering is arguably the easiest way for an attacker to penetrate the defenses of an organization.
The SANS 2013 Help Desk Security and Privacy Survey Analyst Paper (requires membership in SANS.org community)
by Barbara Filkins - July 16, 2013

Covert Channels Over Social Networks by Jose Selvi - June 4, 2012
Today we live in a malware age, with the malware industry growing exponentially (AV-Test, 2012).
Which Disney© Princess are YOU? by Joshua Brower - March 18, 2010
Social engineering takes many form; some obvious, some not so obvious. One not so obvious form is that of questionnaires�be it a knock on the door to answer a survey for a �census� worker, or a �harmless� quiz found on a social networking site. Depending upon their content, they can serve as a very powerful means of capturing and correlating information for nefarious purposes.
Social Engineering: Manipulating the Source by Jared Kee - October 14, 2008
A company has a duty to every employee to inform and prepare them for social engineering attacks. If it fails to do so, it WILL become a victim of such attacks. The methods described in this paper will detail methods you can use for your company�s aversion of social engineers.
Social Engineering Your Employees to Information Security by Martin Manjak - December 19, 2006
Information security should be part and parcel of a set of internal controls that govern the processes, operations, and transactions that constitute the life of the organization.
Corporate Identity Fraud: Life-Cycle Management of Corporate Identity Assets by Bryan Fite - April 3, 2006
The advent of the World Wide Web has provided many new and innovative ways for organizations to conduct business. It has also exposed organizations to new and innovative forms of trademark & brand abuse. Corporate Identity Fraud can be defined as the abuse of traditional and nontraditional identity assets with the intent to divert, deceive or defraud consumers.
The Inside Story: A Disgruntled Employee Gets His Revenge by Heather Kratt - February 10, 2005
In this paper, I will present the fictional story of a disgruntled employee who exacts revenge on his employer by stealing sensitive customer information and posting it on a public website. While the character is fictional, the security risk he represents is quite real. I will describe his motive for attacking his employer's network, analyze the tools and techniques that he used to circumvent existing security measures, and detail the steps involved in the attack process.
Psychology: A Precious Security Tool by Yves Lafrance - June 9, 2004
Security specialists have to master many technologies to help organizations being more secured. People tend to forget an important factor influencing computer security: The human factor. Understanding attackers' motivation can help to improve security measures.
Social Engineering by Aaron Dolan - April 8, 2004
It's not always what you know, it's who you know. Whether it is a good deal on a product, a free place to stay on a vacation or the extra edge to beat out competition for a job, knowing the right people helps people get the things they want.
Understanding and Auditing by Chris Jones - March 3, 2004
Social engineering is an oft-underestimated threat that can be warranted against through education and policies and procedures. While most companies are utilizing training and introducing new policies and procedures to combat social engineering, the only way they can be sure these methods are effective is through auditing specifically for these types of attacks.
The Threat of Social Engineering and Your Defense Against It by Radha Gulati - October 31, 2003
This paper describes various forms of Social Engineering, its cost to the organization and ways to prevent social engineering attacks, highlighting the importance of policy and education.
A Multi-Level Defense Against Social Engineering by David Gragg - March 13, 2003
This paper will add value to the security community in three ways: by incorporating the current social psychological research into the discussion of understanding and resisting social engineering; by using the psychological literature to provide a multi-level defensive strategy for hardening employees to social engineering threats; and by developing the concept of "social engineering land mines" as a part of the multi-level defense against social engineering.

Cooking with Linux - Put Another Nickel in...
What do you mean, you've never heard this song, François? This is classic Steppenwolf, mon ami. Bo-rn to be wi-i-ild! What's that? You think I should keep my singing to the shower? I think, François, that you are forgetting who the Chef and owner of this restaurant is. Non, mon ami, that was purely informational, and I already have chosen to ignore that subtle dig. Look here, though. Each of these programs allows us to provide customized playlists of our favorite music for our guests.
Speaking of our guests, they are here. Welcome, mes amis, to Chez Marcel, home of fine Linux fare, exceptional wines and the finest in musical entertainment. Entertainment is, after all, the theme of this issue. Why musical entertainment, you ask? In a much earlier part of my life, I used to make some extra money babysitting some of my parents' friends' children. One of their friends repaired jukeboxes for a living. Consequently, a real honest-to-goodness jukebox was always in the house, full of 45 RPM singles. From time to time, the model and type of machine would change, but with the coin mechanism disabled, I had all the music I wanted available. Now, that's entertainment!
Like a lot of readers out there, I keep a lot of songs on my disk in Ogg Vorbis or MP3 format. This makes sense because although I have a large CD collection, popping CDs into my notebook means carrying the things around, and that's not convenient. So I rip songs from all those CDs I've bought and store them in the tiniest space possible, namely my notebook. The CDs in jewel cases disappear into that virtual space that is my disk, but the system still is far from perfect. Now I have all these songs in a number of large folders with little or no organization. If I want to play something, I have to go searching. Well, no more, mes amis! On today's menu, I offer you some great open-source jukebox programs. With any of these on your Linux system, your song collections can become well organized, searchable and fun to use—just like the machines of my youth, only much more compact.
François! What are you still doing here? To the wine cellar, immédiatement! I think we need something light today—something fresh and exciting. The 2001 Riesling Auslese Gold Cap Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Wehlener from Germany certainly qualifies as stellar entertainment for that most important of the senses, taste. Vite, François!
While François brings back the wine, let's start our tour of jukebox programs available for your Linux system. If you are a KDE desktop user (and even if you are not), you should consider having a look at Scott Wheeler's JuK (Figure 1). In terms of pronunciation, think jukebox and you have the idea. This program, being a KDE application, integrates nicely into the KDE desktop, with a tray icon to drop the application out of sight quickly. It includes support for your MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files, collection and playlist management, tag editing and much more.
JuK will be released as part of KDE 3.2 and should be part of any future KDE installation. In the meantime, you can get your copy from the JuK Web site at www.slackorama.net/cgi-bin/content.pl?juk. Building Juk is a simple matter of using the old extract and build five-step:
tar -xzvf juk-1.95.tar.gz cd juk-1.95 ./configure make su -c "make install"
When JuK starts up (with the command juk), you find yourself looking at a simple two-pane interface with a sidebar on the left-hand side and a large work/display window on the right, both of which you can size to suit. The expected menu and quick access icons are along the top. The sidebar has a single folder icon labeled Collection List. Adding songs to your JuK box is as simple as clicking the open folder icon, pointing to a folder and selecting the songs you want. Click OK and your songs appear in the default collection list. Because organization is key, you can create additional playlists, then drag and drop titles into your folder of choice. The titles appear in your new playlist but remain in the master collection as well.
From the main track list window, you can click each of the columns to sort by album title, artist, date or other catalog identifier. As anyone with a collection of songs on their computer knows, the information contained in the information tags isn't always perfect. To deal with this problem, we have JuK's power tag editor. What I really like about this feature is you can edit information in-line by right-clicking on a song title, as well as by bringing up the more comprehensive tag editor. Let's say you have 12 songs from a single album and you'd like to enter the date for that album, JuK's editor lets you select multiple titles and do mass changes to selected fields. This is extremely handy and a great time-saver.
On the GNOME side of things, allow me to introduce you to Colin Walters' Rhythmbox (Figure 2). Rhythmbox is another slick-looking jukebox program. You can search for songs, sort by a variety of fields, create playlists and so on. The music library browser views can be configured for two or three columns listing artist, genre or album title. Click on any of the choices, and Rhythmbox narrows down your choices. There's a tag editor for your collection but no in-line edit feature (at least, not at the time of this writing). It even has built-in support for Internet Radio; with a tuner card, you can set your favorite stations and listen from the same interface. You can pick up your copy of Rhythmbox at www.rhythmbox.org.
Rhythmbox plays its songs using the gstreamer package, so that's an important prerequisite. Building Rhythmbox from source isn't difficult, but I did wind up spending some time looking for all the various required GNOME development packages. These included the development packages for bonobo, GTK+, pango, gnomeui, atk, gconf and others. I mention this because I found myself going back quite a few times for packages I was missing when building this one. Binaries are available for those who would like a shortcut. For a great RPM repository, try rpm.pbone.net. But I digress; Rhythmbox is another extract and build five-step project, so no big surprises there:
tar -xzvf rhythmbox-0.5.3.tar.gz cd rhythmbox-0.5.3 ./configure make su -c "make install"
When you start Rhythmbox for the first time, you're met with a small question-and-answer dialog. As part of that setup, you are asked where on the system you store your music. You can either provide a pathname here or skip the step entirely. If you skip it, you can add your songs manually. Rhythmbox reads the song titles, artist name, album title and so on from each cut's tag and sorts the whole thing automatically. Using the tag editor, you also can rate the songs from zero to five stars and then use that rating to look for your favorite tunes.
The final item on tonight's menu bills itself as "the one music manager to rule them all", a boast that certainly makes you take notice. On that note, I think we all should take a minute to sip our wines. The program to rule them all is Andreas Klöckner's Madman (Figure 3), and it is housed at madman.sourceforge.net/index.php.
Should you decide to build Madman from source, you need to do a reprise of your old friend, the extract and build five-step. At the time of this writing, Madman's source release package was madman-0.91.1.tar.gz.
Obviously, the basic features of Madman are much the same as JuK's and Rhythmbox's in that it provides an interface that allows you to organize your music collection and play selected songs. That said, Madman really is different—it even feels different. For instance, the search function is ridiculously flexible. Let's say you wanted to play a song by Celine Dion, but you didn't know how to spell Celine. Simply enter selin or something that looks like it might be right, and Madman locates the song for you (Figure 4). Mais oui, of course I know how to spell it.
But wait, there's more. In the bottom part of Madman's main screen sits another one of Madman's cool features. The program automatically tracks which songs you've listened to completely and how often. So, you create an automatic list of favorites, simply by listening. You also can right-click on a song and assign it a rating using a five-star system.
Madman starts by asking you to enter directories in which you store your songs. This is a simple add dialog where you can add as many as you like. All the music in your collection can be accessed by artist, genre or album title. You also can search for a song using Madman's aforementioned super-flexible search engine. When you find a song you like, highlight it and press F9; press F10 to play it next. Alternatively, you can choose totally random select.
While the other two programs I looked at tonight play directly from the interface, with the machinery hidden in the background, Madman fires up XMMS to do the actual playing. An option can be found in the preferences dialog to select a different player, but at this time, XMMS seems to be the only option available.
There's a lot to like about Madman. When I rip and encode CDs, I sometimes find the information isn't properly carried through into the tag. As a result, I'll get a blank listing. No problem; press F9 to play it, check the title in XMMS's display and edit the tag in-line on Madman's display with a slow double-click.
What did you say, François? Ah, thank you. I'm sorry, mes amis, but it appears as though we have sailed right through another evening. Where does the time go, eh? Still, at Chez Marcel, we never want you to leave without one more leisurely glass of wine, so I will have François pour you a final glass. Since you all have Linux systems at your tables, why not bring up the jukebox program of your choice, put on the headphones and listen to one last song while you finish your wine. Until next time, mes amis, let us drink to one another's health. A votre santé Bon appétit!

Vintage Clothing: An Extension of Self
Going retro? Well why not?! It's the one time you look most impressive "distressed" (queue the rim-shot).
In all seriousness, nothing says "I know my stuff" quite like a sun-faded, vintage t shirt seemingly lifted right off a thrift shop rack. Not only does it suggest that you were "there, man..." but it demonstrates a passion, opinion, and appreciation for the past.
That's the beauty of vintage tees - there are iconic vintage t-shirts to choose from for every passion and personality that is as tailor-fitted, scuffed, dirtied or ripped as you need to show your level of expert commitment. But what makes a vintage tee "vintage" in the first place, and why are they so timeless, really?
Timeless Threads
When you think about it, vintage clothes weren't always "history."
In fact, leading up to World War I, it was standard practice to issue uncomfortable and stuffy wool uniforms to the men in arms. Many pit-stains and sweaty backs later, Europe led the charge to issue cotton t-shirts to their soldiers, and the United States was quick to follow suit.
Suffice it to say, once t-shirts hit the scene and proved their worth in the early 20th century, vintage t-shirts were not far behind as time took its toll. Like trading cards or comic books, the older a design became – and the more iconic people wore it – the more t-shirts emerged as a crucial piece of the wardrobe.
Celebs Do It Best
There is something truly effortless about vintage t shirts. They exude confidence, familiarity, creativity and openness. There is also of course an unescapable "cool factor" about them that says, "This is me... big whoop?!" That never hurt anything either.
In so much, it's no surprise that opinion leaders and sex symbols expressed that quality best, and throughout the reaches of pop culture, t-shirts seeped into the cracks and fissures of creative thought on the backs celebrities.
Through the wardrobe choices of Marlon Brando, John Lennon, James Dean, Joe Cocker, Bob Marley and the all-too-familiar image of Che Guevera, t-shirts and their vintage counterparts became a mainstay in the closet of pop culture. And while it would be nice to say "the rest is history, it isn't necessarily true.
In fact, the true story of vintage t-shirts, one may argue, is just getting started.
Look the Part
No doubt, there are more vintage t-shirt options out there than ever before. Gamers, TV-heads, rockers, jocks and fast food junkies – you can name your poison and make it a passion with vintage tees! From vintage video game shirts and vintage movie t-shirts, to retro TV and brand logos, vintage rock t shirts, vintage military t-shirts and retro superhero t shirts, there is a vintage look for every walk of life.
So ask yourself, what's your passion? A very specific personality and aesthetic appetite is satisfied by vintage clothing, and any passion or desire can be met with the right vintage t-shirt.
For the Movie Addict
For a style that goes more than thread deep, look no further than vintage movie tees. When knowing all the lines by heart just isn't enough, how do you personify your passion for a film? It's what's between the lines that is hardest to express, and your choice in vintage t-shirts can help you express that thought.
If you are a Star Wars fan, what are you trying to say with your vintage Star Wars t-shirt? Is your take funny, ironic, literal or whimsical? So much can be said with just a few words, and it all comes out in the way you wear it.
Or consider what themes in Top Gun made you want that vintage Top Gun t-shirt in particular? Is it the love story or the tale of friendship or an unflinching desire to perform in the face of long odds? No matter what made you inspired by the classic flick, your choice in shirt should encompass that sentiment.
In a perfect world and with the right vintage movie t-shirt, you can take that feeling that drew you into the movie in the first place and turn it into a part of your everyday life. Indeed, passion and fashion are tied at the hip when it comes to vintage movie t shirts.
For the Band's Biggest Fan
Great music almost always takes the listener on a journey. It's that cathartic feeling that you get from a classic song that goes beyond words. Some bands left such an indelible mark on the face of music, not only are their songs vintage, but so is basically anything else they touched – including iconic scenes, logos and vintage band t-shirts.
One of the most perfect examples of a band that change the world is The Beatles. Whether you love them or hate them, you certainly know who they are and can respect the impact they had on music. It's no doubt to this day that some of the best memories surrounding their music are played out in the vintage Beatles t-shirts people choose to wear each day.
The Beatles weren't alone in leaving an everlasting impact on the world of music though. Bob Marley really hit it on the head when he said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Perhaps it was the feel-good vibe of his music, or just his general aura as a musician, but one thing is for sure: Bob Marley fans are more than proud to sport his likeness.
Feel the tropical breeze, allow your toes to wiggle into the sand, and do it all from the office in your favorite vintage Bob Marley T-shirt. That is the whole idea – to capture the feeling you get when the music hits you just right.
For the Brand Loyalist
When a brand has been around long enough to make it to "vintage" status, it often means so much more than just a swig of a soda or a way to pass the time.
That brand is a memory. It is that hot summer day that you got your first kiss while sharing that Pepsi. It is the time that after 16 straight hours of fending of Donkey Kong's relentless barrels, you finally rescued the princess on your Atari. It is an experience!
So what are you remembering with your vintage brand logo t-shirt or what made you choose a vintage Pepsi t-shirt in particular? And why does it make you feel nostalgic and loyal? These are the minute questions we ask ourselves without even knowing it when we find the perfect vintage shirt.
For the Comic Book Geek
What is it about superheroes and comics that get the adrenaline of true fans pumping? Maybe it's the smell of the comic book or the feeling of the pages as they turn in a dimly lit comic book shop.
One thing that is hard to argue against is that you certainly see yourself – your best qualities – in the heroes you admire. When Batman gets the bad guy, so do you. When a hero finally comes to grips with their own weaknesses, so do you. So when you go on the hero's journey with your favorite superhero, find the right superhero vintage t-shirt to capture that feeling.
Then of course there are the mega-classics. There's no superhero quite like Superman when it comes to superhero vintage status. Like a first edition still sealed in mint condition - and ideally protected behind bulletproof glass - getting the right vintage Superman look is like taking a page straight from history home with you.
Remembering your first brush with superhero-dom by sporting your favorite Superman vintage t-shirt, you will feel like there is no kryptonite in the world that could make you regret your choice.
For the Gamer
Now there is no way you could forget that first all-nighter... Your thumbs nearly bleeding, adrenaline running high, and a dark room lit only by the soft glow of the television as you played relentlessly through the levels of your favorite video game. Sound familiar?
Outside of Atari, Mario is a vintage videogame mega-icon that just keeps on giving. While gaming on your Next Gen gaming console, you'll definitely have no trouble remembering your roots with a vintage Mario t-shirt.
Or who could forget everyone's favorite pointy-eared Hylian – Link! Throw on a vintage Zelda t-shirt and you'll feel like you're back in your footie pajamas staying up past bed time. We can only hope you were a child when that memory was made, or this might be another discussion entirely!
For the Military Family
For those in the armed forces, phrases like "Hoorah," "Army Strong" and "Be All You Can Be" mean more than just words. Like the stars and stripes on the flag, the camo and slogans on vintage military shirts reflect far more than a smattering of colors and letters.
The ideas within the symbols are irreplaceable in the hearts of those who've fought in the Armed Forces.
Between their bravery and service, the right to feel nostalgic and proud about a most-earned badge of honor goes without saying.
Between remembering the fallen, and cheering on the men and women who fight for their country even today, it's no wonder that vintage Army shirts and vintage Air Force shirts are highly sought after for both those who've served and those who admire their sacrifice.
For the Old School Jock
If you watch ESPN highlights more than once a day, you might admit you are a sports-fiend. But don't feel bad, you are not alone! For millions of people worldwide, sports are lifelong love affair.
As long as there have been teams, there's been merchandise in plenty and none better than the oldest and most historical. The Bart Stars, Michael Jordans, Babe Ruths, and Wayne Gretzkys of the world are more than inspiration enough to relive your favorite sports moments with a vintage sports T-shirt.
There really are some moments in sports that are so great; you don't even need to be a fan to appreciate the magnitude of an athlete's stellar accomplishment. It's that precise quality – that hero mentality – where we all see ourselves in the athletes we admire.
We want a piece of that history, and for it to be part of our story. If you put on your vintage bulls T-shirt, you don't just remember the three peat, you remember that it's possible in the first place. Again, vintage tees and inspiration go together like rosy-and-retrospection. And there isn't any shame in coming out for the day smelling like roses in your favorite vintage sports tee.
The Future of Vintage Tees
Whoa, a paradox. The future of the past... Freaking us out!
But seriously, who doesn't want to take a relic and make it new, unique, their own?! Since wardrobe is an extension of self, matching passions to t-shirts is almost intrinsic. And one might assume that what is true today will carry on tomorrow.
In the end, the future of vintage retro t shirts promises wild possibilities and is most likened to what's "big" now. Could Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Duck Dynasty, Sherlock, The Hobbit and other modern smash-hits be tomorrow's vintage gold?
Only time will tell. But it certainly is fun to speculate – and admittedly, to picture us sporting vintage tees in spaceships instead of cars.

Hoyer Statement at Steering & Policy Committee Hearing on Medicare
Katie Grant, 202-225-3130
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) joined Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats at a Steering & Policy Committee Hearing entitled, "Saving Medicare for Seniors Today and in the Future." Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
"I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the dangerous impact of the Ryan-Romney-Republican House budget on Medicare and the positive impact of the Affordable Care Act Democrats passed in 2010.
"After the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Americans are still working hard to make ends meet and pursue the opportunities promised by the American Dream. Before we enacted health reform, seniors and those nearing retirement faced an environment of uncertainty and rising costs. But, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Medicare beneficiaries can breathe a little easier today.
"Not only are a host of preventive services, like mammograms and colonoscopies, available for free, but the 'donut hole' is closing, and the Medicare trust fund will be solvent for an additional eight years.
"A report from the Department Of Health And Human Services released last week shows the progress health reform has made. It found that the average American with traditional Medicare will save $5,000 from 2010 to 2022 as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Moreover, those who have high prescription drug costs will save more than $18,000 during the same period. In the first eight months of this year alone, over 19 million Americans have accessed at least one free preventive service that used to cost beneficiaries out of pocket. Since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, more than 5.5 million Americans have saved nearly $4.5 billion on prescription drugs as a result of its closing the 'donut hole.'
"The Ryan-Romney-Republican budget, however, would gut these reforms and place more of the cost burden onto the backs of our seniors than ever before. Not only would it defund the new benefits included in the Affordable Care Act, but it would end Medicare as we know it by instituting a voucher system.
"Their budget would leave seniors on Medicare paying over $6,000 a year out of pocket in health care costs, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. And the Ryan-Romney-Republican plan isn't ending Medicare in order to balance the budget – their budget doesn't balance until 2040 – but to afford huge tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.
"That is simply the wrong approach – and one that fails to put America's seniors first.
"In fact, a study out today by the non-partisan Commonwealth Fund shows that Romney-Ryan health care policies would leave as many as 45 million more Americans uninsured over the next decade compared to the Affordable Care Act and the President's policies.
"I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about their hopes for Medicare in the wake of the Affordable Care Act and their concerns resulting from threats by House Republicans to institute a voucher system in its place.
"Our seniors cannot afford to turn the clock back, and neither can this nation if we wish to continue providing our people with opportunities and preserving faith in the American Dream."

|No such thing as a small change
Database Migration Completedby Co-Rion (Monk)
|on Sep 27, 2008 at 20:00 UTC ( #714052=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
What amounted to a downtime of the site of about 20 minutes bore great fruits. The new database machine that Pair so generously provide to us is now in use. We are now on MySQL version 5. The new machine has lots more RAM than the old machine, so I expect the GMT 8:00 site slowdown due to the backups to be far less noticeable than it was in the previous years.
This migration was possible through the beta testing especially of ambrus who found the first two incompatible SQL statements, the scripts provided by tye for creating backups while the website is still in use, the moral support and patience of the site users when I tested the DB migration and made the site unusable/unavailable, and last but not least by Pair who donate the new hardware. I'd like to thank all of you and hope the new database makes the site faster.
If you notice any changes in site behaviour, please report them here or in the chatterbox. Preferrably accompany bug reports with a test script taken from Open beta test of the new database. The beta test didn't turn up any more inconsistencies between what MySQL 5 accepts as valid SQL, but there might be nodes that had been unchecked.

The film used in our products is re-purposed from 35mm Mylar (polyester) movies that ran in theaters between 2006 and 2012 (when digital took over). Prior to digital distributors picked the movies up after their run in theaters and paid to have it destroyed, as all the copies of films in the thousands of theaters across the country could not be archived. We negotiated an agreement with the distributors to give us a couple of reels from each movie (but not the entire film) instead of paying to have it professionally destroyed.
Ties, wallets and lamp shades are available in Pornographic options made with celluloid collectible films from the 1970's encased in clear Mylar film to avoid breakage. All handbags and accessories are handmade.
Fashion accessories made from repurposed 35MM movie films.

I was watching a tv-serie which my daughter was viewing and as I did that I got the idea to take some pictures of the TV and then create my own version in a sort of simpel cartoon strip way. And with XDP6 there was not long from idea to result
I took some pictures using my digital camera, imported them to the computer and into XDP6. Created versions using clipview on each picture. Thought of a story to tell with the pictures, arranged them and tried to make them look appear in "real" cartoon strip style.
The result I find was okay :-) - here is the result, but you may find a 300 DPI version in PDF here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3260327/hulterTilBulter01.pdf

Komisarek: A Breath of Fresh Air with Carolinaby Michael Smith / Carolina Hurricanes
|Michael Smith
|Follow on Twitter
He signed a five-year, $22.5 million dollar deal and was the Maple Leafs' high-profile signing of the day.
"He was a high draft pick, he played very well in Montreal and he earned the right to get a big contract," said Jim Rutherford, the Canes president and general manager. "So, the expectations where he went to play were very, very high."
Four years and four days later, Komisarek was snatched up on the opening day of free agency, this time by the Carolina Hurricanes on a one-year, $700,000 deal.
A vastly different scenario, for sure.
"This is my second experience with the whole free agency thing, and I can definitely say that this was a lot more enjoyable going through it," Komisarek said on a Friday conference call. "It wasn't as hectic or crazy."
Komisarek became an unrestricted free agent after Toronto exercised one of its two compliance buyouts on the 31-year-old defenseman earlier this week. The West Islip, NY, native logged just four games with the Leafs in 2012-13, adding seven with the Marlies of the American Hockey League.
It was the end of a tumultuous road of four seasons that, for whatever reason – injuries, unattainable expectations or otherwise – just didn't pan out.
"The best way I can sum it up is that you sign a big contract, you come in there as a hot free agent and you want to change the world," he said. "I didn't get off on the right foot and never recovered from there. It just wasn't working out, bottom line. We're in a business of results and producing, and it didn't happen.
"With that being said, you don't complain and you don't whine. You go to the rink to try to find solutions and be part of the answer."
The answer was hard to come by. In 2009-10, the season after signing his five-year deal with Toronto, Komisarek suffered a shoulder injury, missing 48 games. His ice time was cut the following season, and he hadn't been able to stake a role since.
That could change in Carolina, where he figures to slot in as a third-pair defenseman with Jay Harrison, who he's met before. And the microscope isn't as finely focused.
"Now he's away from those expectations, and I'm sure he's learned a lot from all those things he had to go through," Rutherford said. "[His role here] gives him a much better chance to succeed."
"I don't think there will be that same sort of pressure and expectations, and you're not under the microscope every day," Komisarek said. "It's going to do wonders for me, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity."
Inserting the 6-foot-4, 235-pound defenseman into the lineup, Komisarek edges Kevin Westgarth by a pound to become the heftiest player on the roster. The grit on the back-end, supplemented by Andrej Sekera's 6-foot, 201-pound frame, is what the Hurricanes were looking to add in an effort to shore up the team defense.
He will also bring a veteran element to the Canes' dressing room.
"He is really good with young players, and he will help our locker room," Rutherford said.
An NHL All-Star starter in 2009 and U.S. Olympic team selection in 2010 (didn't participate due to injury), Komisarek is already familiar with Canes head coach Kirk Muller, who was an assistant coach in Montreal for Komisarek's last three seasons with the Habs.
"Kirky was a heart-and-soul guy. There's no gray area with him," Komisarek said. "You know exactly where you stand."
In 2005-06, Komisarek and the Habs claimed the first two games of the Stanley Cup Playoff's first round in Raleigh before the Canes won four straight to advance. The rest of that, of course, is history.
"You see how the city embraced the team and the players. It was such a great atmosphere," Komisarek said. "I've always enjoyed coming down there. It's a great city, a great place and a great environment."
Having identified Carolina as an ideal career destination, once Komisarek learned of interest on the opposite side, there wasn't much of a decision to be made.
It might not have been as flashy as July 1, 2009, but that's just the way he wanted it.
"It was a no-brainer for me," he said. "I thought this would be the best fit for myself and my family to go down there and get a fresh breath of air and a new opportunity to contribute, play and be part of a team that's up-and-coming and a great organization."

On his blog, Padraic Brady has this post on a topic that's arisen from the PHP Developer's Network forums - the idea of creating a community-built book surrounding PHP.
The PHP Developer's Network forums were abuzz today after a member's proposal to write a community PHP book for novice programmers, with sections targeting advanced topics and programmers. The instigator was d11wtq (Chris Corbyn), who on a side note recently released the excellent Swift Mailer library. It's a simple proposal - write a book, and release it in some (or many) formats for free.
So why write yet another PHP book? I think the proposal caught such attention because of the method of writing and the motivation for doing so. And admit it, it's a very intriguing idea.
He talks more about how the book would be created ("a community sourced effort") and how quality of the content would be maintained. Creative freedom would also be engouraged, and some motivations as to why a developer would want to contribute to the book at all.

Finding the right name for a car is something many car owners feel will complete the car. Inspiration for these monikers can come from a variety of different scenarios; names originate because of song titles, life events, family and friends, and even something as simple as a definition of a word. The word "redemption" is defined as "the payment of an obligation," and "the act of redeeming, or the condition of having been redeemed." Based on these definitions and the circumstances in which Hector Avila acquired the '38 Chevy, "Redemption" is the perfect name for this Bomb.
As the owner and operator of Pico Custom Colors in Pico Rivera, California, Hector Avila not only has the task of painting cars; he must also run the business side of the shop. Making sure shop invoices get paid takes up a lot of business owners' time, and Hector can certainly attest to that. Ideally when a job is complete, shop owners get paid. Sometimes there are circumstances when bartering comes in play or goods are received as payment instead of cash. These situations don't always work, but sometimes they can be beneficial. Hector found himself in a situation where someone wanted one of his paint jobs but wanted to use the 1938 Chevy as payment. After going over the car, he agreed to the transaction; once the paintjob was done, Hector became the owner of the thirty-eight.
A lifelong Lowrider, Hector had a vision of how he wanted the Chevy to look. Naturally the first order of business was to get the paint in order. Hector made sure the body was straight and added the side mount on the right side of the car before he sprayed a custom mix of House of Kolor paint on the Master Deluxe. With the paintwork done, it was on to the next task; altering the suspension. Hector knew he wanted the Bomb to lie as low as possible but he also wanted it to ride comfortably since it was going to be driven often. He did such a good job that after the build was completed, Hector decided to make the Chevy his daily driver. Hector and his friend, Mariano, added a custom air bag set up and modified the frame, suspension, and body to get the Chevy as low as possible. Through trial and error, Hector and Mariano found the perfect combination that gave the '38 a super low stance but also a great ride. Once the paint and suspension were completed, Hector had JJ Engine Builders in Los Angeles, California rebuild the engine and transmission. He then painted and chromed some of the engine pieces. Finally, he added headers and straight pipes to the Chevy. Santana Upholstery in Santa Fe Springs, California, then covered the interior in Mohair.
After completing his modifications, the only thing left to do was to name the car. After kicking around a few ideas the name "Redemption" was suggested because of the way the car came into Hector's possession. We think the name is perfect for the Chevy and Hector agrees. As we mentioned before Hector drives the Chevy daily but also finds time to attend cars shows and cruise nights where he often leaves with a trophy or two. As of right now, he has no plans to sell the car but he is looking for a new project to start on. Who knows, maybe lady luck will strike again and we will see a Redemption part two!
Tech Specs
Owner: Hector Avila
Vehicle: 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe
City/State: Pico Rivera, California
Engine: 1938 Chevy 216ci that was rebuilt by JJ Engine Builders in Los Angeles, California. Hector added his touch by adding lots of chrome and color matched parts. All chrome by D&R Chrome in Maywood, California.
Paint: All paint and bodywork was done by Hector at his Pico Custom Colors shop in Pico Rivera, California. Hector added the side-mount on the right side of the Chevy. The '38 is painted in a custom mixed House of Kolor hue.
Interior: Mohair Interior by Santana Upholstery in Santa Fe Springs, California.
Suspension: Hector and Mariano installed the custom air bag suspension and modified the body and frame to get the Master Deluxe to sit on the ground.
Wheels: 15-inch Chrome Artillery Wheels.
Tires: 15-inch White Wall Radials.

Health officials are investigating a measles outbreak in Manhattan and the Bronx after nine children and seven adults have tested positive for the highly contagious virus.
Authorities are working to identify the source of the outbreak, and are urging vaccinations for those who haven't had them. Some of those sickened have had to be hospitalized.
Cases have been identified in Inwood and Washington Heights in Manhattan, and in High Bridge, Morrisania and the Central Bronx, health officials say. The first case was reported in February.
Four of the affected children were too young to have been vaccinated; three who had been vaccinated were 13 to 15 months old and two others had not been vaccinated by parental choice, the Health Department said. The affected adults range in age from 22 to 63 years.
Measles is a viral infection characterized by a generalized rash and high fever, accompanied by cough, red eyes and runny nose, lasting five to six days. The illness typically begins with a rash on the face and then moves down the body, and may include the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
People who contract the measles virus can spread the infection for four days before developing a rash, and for four days after the rash sets in. Measles can spread easily through the air to unprotected individuals, and the Health Department is urging all New Yorkers to make sure they and their families are vaccinated.
The Health Department said it is working with city hospitals to prevent additional exposure to the virus in emergency departments. It's also asking pediatric facilities to vaccinate any children who haven't already been vaccinated. Children should normally get a second dose of the vaccine between the ages of 4 and 6, but the Health Department says those who live in the affected communities should get their second dose immediately, regardless of whether they fall within that age range.
News of the outbreak comes less than a month after officials reported shoppers at the Palisades Center Mall in Rockland County may have been exposed to the virus after one shopper tested positive for it.
As many as one in three people with measles develop complications, which can be serious and may include pneumonia, miscarriage, brain inflammation, hospitalization and death. Infants, people who have a weakened immune system and non-immune pregnant women are at highest risk of severe illness and complications.

The Bay Area added 5,600 jobs in June, an upswing led by a robust tech sector in Santa Clara County and strong gains in the San Francisco-San Mateo-Marin region, according to a state government report released Friday.
The job gains improved the unemployment rate throughout the Bay Area, according to an analysis by Beacon Economics of the state Employment Development Department report.
The jobless rate in June was 5.3 percent in Santa Clara County, down from 5.5 percent in May; 5.7 percent in the East Bay, down from 5.9 percent; and 4.1 percent in the San Francisco metro area, down from 4.4 percent, according to the Beacon analysis. The unemployment rate and the job trend numbers are derived from different surveys and can move in different directions in the same month.
"The drivers of the Bay Area economy are still in place, both in Santa Clara County and the San Francisco metro area," said Jordan Levine, director of economic research with Beacon. "Demand is still rising for technology services and products, business investment is continuing, there is still demand for capital goods. Those drivers are still poised to create job growth in the Bay Area."
California added 24,200 jobs in June. The statewide unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, down from 7.6 percent in May.
Primarily because of large job losses in the government sector, which suffered employment reductions due to seasonal school-related furloughs, Santa Clara County lost 900 jobs in June. Private-sector gains came in tech-oriented industries such as professional, scientific and technical services, which added 500 jobs, and the information industry, which gained 100 jobs. Health care added 700 jobs in June.
The San Francisco-San Mateo-Marin region gained 8,100 jobs, mostly in the hotel and restaurant sector and in administrative support.
The East Bay lost 900 jobs. One of the weakest sectors was construction, which lost 1,000 positions during June. The numbers were adjusted for seasonal changes.
Despite the losses in some areas, economists agreed that the overall trend remains strong for the Bay Area.
"Every indication we see points to the jobs recovery starting to spread to other parts of the Bay Area such as the East Bay," said Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy.
The statewide economy also achieved a key benchmark during June. California now has recovered all of the jobs it lost during the most recent recession and has returned to its peak levels of 2007.
"This is significant," Levine said. "It is a watershed mark for California."

Interconnection Tool for Texas is a step-by-step guide on how to interconnect a 10 MW or larger distributed generation or "generation resource" to the ERCOT transmission grid. This tool can help ensure a successful and timely interconnection process from beginning to end.
DOE Southcentral and Upper West Combined Heat and Power TAP
The Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) in The Woodlands, Texas has been awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assist public and private entities considering Combined Heat and Power (CHP). The DOE Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAP) program promotes CHP technology solutions for the industrial and manufacturing sector, critical infrastructure, institutions, commercial facilities, and utilities seeking to reap the many benefits of CHP. Building upon previous TAP program successes, HARC will manage program activities in eleven states over the next five years. The Southcentral TAP Region includes Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, with DOE funding of about $2.7 million. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota comprise the Upper West TAP Region, funded with $1.48 million from DOE.
DOE TAPs promote the many advantages of CHP with technical resources to assist in evaluation and installation of CHP systems. While CHP is widely known for improving energy efficiency, it is increasingly recognized as a way to make facilities more resilient against power outages. Natural disasters in recent years have underscored the importance of resilient energy infrastructure for continuity of operations, especially for critical facilities such as hospitals, college campuses, and governmental installations.
TAP programs provide a range of technical assistance services for facilities seeking to integrate CHP. Initially, a prospective project is screened to assess economic viability by analysis of energy costs to gauge potential savings with CHP. This service is provided free of charge, thanks to DOE funding. Primary candidates include facilities such as wastewater treatment plants, food processing, data centers, higher education, manufacturing, chemicals and refining, as well as oil and gas operations.
Interest in CHP at your site? Please fill out this short survey to see if CHP may be a good fit for your facility.
Please reach out to us if you need assistance with project assessments, project development or education and outreach. We look forward to working with you. Contact Gavin Dillingham at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Elton John and his husband David Furnish meet up with Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Viewing Party held during the 2015 Academy Awards on Sunday evening (February 22) in Los Angeles.
Also in attendance at the star-studded event were Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl Berkoff, Mike Myers and his wife Kelly Tisdale, Dermot Mulroney and his wife Tharita Catulle, Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, Eric McCormack and his wife Janet Holden, legendary actress Cloris Leachman, and singer Asher Monroe.
"It means that we raise money on a night where everyone is having a great time and is not really thinking about the world but thinking about 'fluff' like Oscars," Elton said when asked by PopSugar what the event means to him. "It's a night where we try to remember the people who aren't living a glamorous life, who are suffering, that might be left behind. That we remember them when we're having a joyous time, that we don't forget people who aren't."
FYI: Lisa is wearing a Maria Lucia Hohan gown.

Hello again from Ishinomaki. Today I thought I'd share photos of life in the It's Not Just Mud volunteer house.
It's very much communal living here, with around 20 volunteers staying in two neighbouring Japanese style houses. It's been amazing to get to know volunteers from Japan, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Norway, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand and the US in just a few short days. Some people are short term volunteers like me, while other have been here for a month to a year. I had the pleasure of working with two deaf Japanese ladies and their sign language interpreter. My Japanese is pretty basic and involves a lot of gesturing anyway, so it was really fun to learn the official hand signs for the Japanese words I already know. Such lovely, lovely people.
The main entrance to the first volunteer house. In the next few weeks the volunteers will be moving to another building.
The volunteers take it in turns to cook and the food so far has been gooooooood…
My room – not always this messy! I'm sharing with two girls from Germany and the US. They've both been here a month so are showing me the ropes.
This is the main room where everyone gathers to eat and socialise in the evenings.
The all important noticeboard assigning tasks, teams and start times for the next day.
For short term volunteers there's plenty of equipment that can be borrowed, from overalls to boots…
Finally, this is the loo! Very nice and clean. I've been so impressed by the lack of hierarchy here. Everyone simply pulls their weight to pitch in with chores, keep the house clean and work hard and with enthusiasm on all volunteering jobs.
Every good house has a cat, of course 🙂

As most of you are aware, violence broke out in Egypt and Libya yesterday over a internet movie about the "Prophet Muhammad" that apparently insulted Islam. John Christopher Stevens was an American diplomat and lawyer who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Libya from June 2012 to September 2012. He was killed when the U.S. consulate was attacked in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012. Two U.S. Marines who were sent to the area when the disturbance began also died, along with Sean Smith, who was employed as an information management officer. According to the U.S. State Department, Stevens is the eighth U.S. Ambassador to be killed in the line of duty.
These American Patriots who died in the line of duty were possibly killed with weapons the Obama Administration supplied during the "Arab Spring" last year. The situation in the Middle East has degraded so far in just over a year that the world is on the verge of another World War. This could very well lead us into the wars that were prophesied in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38-39.
The violence continues today in the Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Gaza, and Kuwait.
These attacks were nothing short of a declaration of war against the United States of America by Egypt and Libya. President Barack Obama's response was to apologize to the Islamists concerning the film that was made.
Representative Allen West said, "Americans need to question whether the deaths of these innocent patriots could have been avoided. The Obama Administration touted the Arab Spring as an awakening of freedom, which we now see is a nightmare of Islamism. President Obama's policy of appeasement towards the Islamic world has manifested itself into a specter of unconscionable hatred. President Obama has clearly surpassed former President Jimmy Carter and his actions during the Iranian Embassy Crisis, as the weakest and most ineffective person to ever occupy the White House."
Governor Sarah Palin declared on her Facebook page that Obama needed to "grow" a "big stick."
Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney also criticized the Obama Administration for apologizing and has said that Administration has sent mixed messages to the world. He said, "President Obama has demonstrated a lack of clarity on foreign policy and purpose."
The above link will show you the contributions to the world that the "Religion of Peace" have bestowed upon us.
Compare Islam with Judeo-Christian religions and values and you will clearly see who is the real religion of peace. It is also very obvious that Muslims do not worship the same God (YHWH) that we do. They worship a moon god. In reality, they worship Muhammad more than their own "god."
I have seen the film on YouTube that set off these religious fanatics and murderers. It may be vulgar and inappropriate, but it is the truth.
Here's a flashback for you to ponder. In 1987, the United States of America used taxpayers funds through the National Endowment for the Arts to fund an exhibit known as "Piss Christ," a photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition.
The photograph was one of a series of photographs that Serrano had made that involved classical statuettes submerged in various fluids—milk, blood, and urine. A print of the photograph was damaged using a screwdriver or icepick on April 17, 2011 while on exhibit in Avignon, France. Many attempts have been made to destroy this "art" over the last twenty plus years, but not one person has been injured or killed. The "artist" has never had a fatwa issued against him.
Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:15-20 ESV).
The "fruits" of Islam have been displayed for decades. Islam is not a religion, it is a cult of bigotry, pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, and death.
Please follow the above link and read what the POTUS has said in the past. It is no wonder Barack Obama truly despises biblical Christians usually referred to as "evangelicals." His situation ethics relativistic liberal religion is antithetical to biblical Christianity. If in the Oval Office, he will see to it that biblical Christianity is erased completely. There will not be one sign of the Judeo-Christian heritage left once Barack Hussein is in the White House.

- Lily Evans: "Doesn't your dad like magic?"
- Severus Snape: "He doesn't like anything, much."
- — Severus discusses his father with Lily Evans.[src]
Tobias Snape was a Muggle and a member of the Snape family. He was married to Eileen Snape (née Prince), a witch, and was the father of Severus Snape.
Little is known about Tobias, but it is clear that he lived with his wife, Eileen, in a row house on Spinner's End. The fact that the house was located near a textile mill may give some indication of his profession[1][2] and socioeconomic status.Tobias had a son, Severus, who was born on 9 January, 1960. His marriage to Eileen was fraught with tension, according to Severus, who told his friend, Lily Evans, that his parents often had arguments. Tobias and his wife may also have been incredibly neglectful, or at least extremely poor, as their son was said and claimed not to look "well cared for."[2] The thought of leaving his father to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seemed to enthrall Severus.[2]
It seems that Tobias, a Muggle, was aware that he had married a witch. When young Lily Evans asked Severus if his father liked magic, Severus replied that Tobias didn't ever really like anything, including magic.[2] This would seem to suggest that Tobias was an incredibly sour and very unhappy man.
Tobias' ultimate fate is unknown, but Severus Snape was shown living in the family house on Spinner's End in the summer of 1996, suggesting that Tobias and his wife were either dead by this time or possibly residing somewhere else.
Wife and son
Tobias seemed to not have a very good relationship with his wife and son. He seemed to be physically and verbally abusive towards them, like for example, during an Occlumency lesson in which his son was giving Harry Potter, Harry saw in a flashback in which Tobias was shouting at Eileen while a young Severus Snape cried in the corner.
It is also most likely that Tobias also abused his son, Severus and was apparently very neglectful of him. This caused Severus to despise Muggles very much, most likely except Lily Evans's parents Mr. and Mrs. because they were the parents of the woman he had loved for his entire life; Although, he had a strong dislike of Lily's sister Petunia Evans.
Physical appearance
Tobias Snape is described as a tall man with dark hair and a hooked nose. It seems that his son - Severus - inherited much of his physical appearance.
Personality and traits
Tobias Snape is described as a sour man. He is seen to be rather argumentative, and Severus once stated to Lily Evans that, "[Tobias] doesn't like anything, much." Tobias did not seem to give a great deal of thought towards his son, since Severus did not look "well cared for" as a child.
Tobias is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Tobiah from the biblical books of Ezra and Nehemiah, meaning "God is good". In the apocryphal Book of Tobit in the Old Testament, Tobias is assisted by the archangel in driving a demon away from Sarah, who subsequently became his wife.[3]
Behind the scenes
- Tobias appeared in a memory which Harry Potter saw when he accidentally broke into Severus Snape's mind during an Occlumency lesson. In the memory, a man with a hooked nose is shouting at a frightened woman, while a small, dark-haired boy — Severus — cries in the corner. This memory could be evidence that he abused Eileen, Severus's mother, by the fact that she could have been abused by Tobias may have been causing her to not give the right and proper care to Severus.[4]
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First appearance) (Appears in flashback(s))

JPMorgan Chase names new head of 'London Whale' unitSeptember 6, 2012: 4:44 PM ET
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) named Craig Delany, a 20-year veteran of the bank, as head of its chief investment office -- the unit that oversaw a $5.8 billion trading loss earlier this year. A spokesperson for the bank said the change was announced in an internal memo.
Delany's promotion comes as the bank continues to recover from its so-called London Whale trading losses and tries to refurbish its image as the best in the U.S. banking system. Shares of JPMorgan Chase have gained more than 10% since the bank reported its second-quarter results in mid-July. But the stock is still below the levels it was at when it first disclosed the trading loss in May.
Delany has practice fixing banking messes. For the past 18 months, he has run JPMorgan's mortgage servicing rights division, helping to clean up some of the troubled mortgages from the financial crisis. In the memo announcing his new title, CEO Jamie Dimon said that Delany was the right person for the job because he had been in the "center of some of the bank's toughest challenges."
According to the memo, Delany spent 18 years in the investment banking division. He also currently serves on the bank's executive committee.
JPMorgan's London Whale shakes up Dimon succession race
The bank's former CIO, Ina Drew, resigned after the losses were announced. Delany will report to Matt Zames, now the bank's co-chief operating officer, who immediately succeeded Drew.
Three of the traders responsible for the trading losses have also left the bank. Dimon has previously said that these former employees could see two years of pay clawed back.

What can be analyzed in my work, or criticized, are the questions that I ask…my composition arises out of asking questions.
— John Cage
Radical Software Volume I, Number 1: the Alternate Television Movement (Spring 1970)
As rare as it is for something to be an instant success, this is what happened with Radical Software, a journal started in 1970 to bring a fresh direction to communication via personal and portable video equipment and other cybernetic explorations. Its intention was to foster an alternative to broadcast media and lessen the impact of its control. I was the co-founder.
When I began conceiving of the journal, no one really knew precisely what I was getting at because my ideas about it were at an inchoate stage of development, making for loose coherency. The idea was for individuals to be able to communicate interactively without the filters of broadcast media. Even at a more formalized stage the process superseded any formulaic views. Perhaps asking non-hierarchical questions could materialize the structures leading to a two-way network for communicative exchange. Our choices were no longer determined by traditions and customs.
I don't often look, but when I do, I notice so much misinformation, both printed and online, about the origins of Radical Software. I'd like to clarify what my role was then and what my inspiration was in conceiving of it. It is important to set the background and tone of events. In order to accurately tell the tale I will weave in some personal life anecdotes from the time. It's all one story to me, as the vicissitudes of life often direct our fates.

Looks like Team Coco is in the house. Well, actually just near the house, but it is the White House we're talking about. In the nation's capital to host this year's White House Correspondents Dinner, Conan O'Brien today tweeted a pic of himself in front of the Executive Mansion. "In D.C. to perform at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Practicing my opening "Goofy Sunglasses" bit," the TBS late-night host wrote Thursday. Saturday's dinner is the Boston native's second stint as headliner. He also hosted in 1995, a couple of years after joining Late Night.

A lot has changed since those days, including the amount of coverage the event gets. This year it won't just be C-SPAN covering the Hollywood-meets-The Beltway nerdfest. CNN said today that like it will cover O'Brien and President Obama's remarks at the dinner live during the 10 PM ET hour. The cable news network will also offer coverage of red-carpet arrivals from 6-7 PM ET and a best-of past WHCDs in the 9 PM hour. That joins MSNBC's coverage, which is set to start at 9:30 PM ET, and E!'s live-stream of the red-carpet arrivals. Fox News Channel also plans coverage, though it hasn't offered specifics yet.

Hoan RepairsPosted on
This update from County Supervisor Patricia Jursick's November newsletter:
Many of you have continued to ask questions about the current work on the Hoan Bridge so here is the latest update. I spoke with Paul Trombino of the DOT and got this report:
DOT did an "end-up" inspection, a thorough examination of the bridge from one end to the other including taking a thermogram to determine which areas of the road surface need attention. DOT also did nondestructive steel inspections and reviewed the condition of the parapets. A contractor is placing netting under the bridge above Summerfest and Jones Island. Crews are also doing extensive repairs on the road surface including removing and replacing cement and rebar if needed. Road repair is expected to last another three to five years, according to Mr. Trombino.
While I am pleased some maintenance is taking place, we must not become complacent. DOT must still plan to perform a major re-decking which means total removal of the road deck with a complete replacement of all rebar and cement along with any other needed repair and painting of the structure. During current deck repair work, DOT will do the engineering study to determine the actual cost of re-decking.
This report will be issued sometime in January 2011. We must then find the political will to get the funding for our bridge. I have been in contact with Representative Gwen Moore's office on several occasions to keep her office informed of this need.
